And so the season ends

Summer came and passed away,hardly seemed to last a daybut it’s over and what can I do?

Maybe it was always too much to hope that these “boys of summer” could extend the season just a few more days. Too young. The manager too inexperienced. The bullpen too shaky. The starting pitching never living up to its potential. An outfield and a lineup too unsettled to be consistent.

The good news is that they can only get better. For the first time in a long time, “Wait ’til next year” is a promise and not just sour grapes.

Still, it would have been nice to have just a few more days under the sun.
